Experimental GTK+ theme engine will add CSS support
,----[ Quote ]
| At the recent GUADEC event in Istanbul, the GTK+ community discussed ways to
| improve the toolkit's theming system. A particularly exciting project listed
| among the items on the roadmap is a plan for creating an experimental GTK+
| theme engine that will enable developers to customize the appearance of their
| themes with cascading style sheets (CSS).

WebKit rising
,----[ Quote ]
| Once upon a time, there were no usable free web browsers for the Linux
| environment; the binary-only Netscape releases were all that was available to
| us. For many, the solution to the problem was to be found in the release of
| the Netscape source code; some years later, we got the Mozilla and Firefox
| browsers (based on the Gecko rendering engine) from this work. The KDE
| project, though, took a different route in the late 1990's, developing the
| KHTML renderer to use with the Konqueror application.

| But it's worth remembering that WebKit, too, is a project developed by a
| company with its own objectives, few of which make any mention of turning
| 2009 into the real year of the Linux desktop. For now, though, WebKit has the
| look of a project with all the right attributes: real independence,
| merit-based access to the source repository, no requirement for copyright
| assignments, reasonable licensing, and the right goals. It may well be
| positioned to become a core component in the Linux desktop.
